Governance volunteers matter
Last week was National Volunteer Week and we spend time celebrating the impact that volunteers have in our country at all levels and in all places! Thank you to everyone who gives their time to others, you are to be treasured, and your gift to us all is very precious.
Governance volunteers matter...
Check out the blog I wrote for Volunteering New Zealand, about all the governance volunteers working behind the scenes in community organisations. We need to celebrate them and their work dedicated to keeping services running and communities and families intact.
A personal thank you to all the board members and governance volunteers that I have worked with across the country.
Contact me if you are part of a community organisation looking for some support for your governance team. I have mentoring and coaching spaces available now. Happy to chat to see how this support could work for you.
